I prefer my bike locked up in the garage. They are right next to my work bench with all my tools and everything accessible instantly. Besides, I like to migrate to the garage frequently in the evenings when the wife and kids are inside, and the kids are playing. It gives a sense of time alone with some peace and quiet.

As far as the Orange bean bag with duct tape goes. I think it might be a good idea to just let her take care of the intererior decorating from now on. As many fond memories we may all have, the fact is.....Disco, polyester leisure suits, and orange bean bag chairs died out 30 years ago.
